        I have decluttered breakfast then cluttered up the settee when i fell to sleep for 2 hours.
        Mum fetched ds from school had lunch and washed a few pots.
        Mum gone now so just updated the stars. Off to get ready to go and see Lara.
        I am really tired for some reason today not quite sure why.
        Remember to put in BIG LETTERS when you want a star.
        P.S.
        If i have thanked your post don't use it again to ask for more stars as i don't re-read any.
        Thanks guys

        I am going to a my nieces christening on Sunday and don't have a clue what to get her any ideas. (was going to get a christening bracelet but her mum and dad have bought one of those)

        Well done Kassey three stars keep up the good work. Excellent. (putting me to shame)

        Both my huband and i are Godparents to Lily so i wanted to get something special. I will have to go and have a look perhaps Saturday. This week is turning out to be quite busy no wonder i am tired.

        My next door neighbour is taking ds to school mum picks him up, there is a puppet show at school tomorrow morning, a disco at school tomorrow night, non uniform hero day where the police are visiting (i want to go to that one;)) on friday. Birthday party Sat pm and Christening sun all day.
        Look like shopping either fri afternoon or sat morning.
        And i have nothing to wear for christening.
